Indeed, the ad hoc nature of the electoral commissions in question, despite the existence of SPs, is among the factors that will affect the quality of elections and the level of performance of various committees in the countries concerned. Indeed, with an ad hoc electoral commission, it is practically difficult: · To capitalize on the experiences of its members, especially since nothing prevents the renewal of members of such boards at a high rate because politicians appoint new representatives to each election. For example, in Benin, the renewal rate of members of the CENA is at least 75% and sometimes it reaches 100%; · For the electoral commission as an institution to ensure an efficient management of knowledge and to grow over time. For example, in Benin, the election management does not seem to improve but quite the contrary; · For the electoral commission to control the legal framework of elections, especially with the frequency of repeated changes, even when justified, made on election laws generally on the eve of each election deadline; · For the committee to ensure appropriate planning activities of the electoral process, since it does not control the period of its composition and its installation, that is to say, the time available for preparation and organizing a ballot. For example, in Benin it happened once that the electoral commission was installed within 45 days of voting and then had to proceed with the establishment of the electoral list, among others. Since the establishment of CENA, only one has received the legal time frame for the preparation, that is to say at least 3 months before the election. 110
